The International Relations of the Central Region of Argentina

and its relationship with foreign policy (2003-2007)

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between the subnational external management of the Central Region and the guidelines of Argentine foreign policy in the period 2003-2007. It will seek to identify those actions or convergent orientations of both processes and verify if there are links that affect their development and implementation. To do this, a review of the foreign policy of the Government of Nestor Kirchner will be carried out. Subsequently, the work focuses on the Central Region, beginning with a brief institutional introduction and then a description of the international activities carried out for the proposed analysis period. Finally, an analysis of the convergence of both processes will be carried out, identifying the connection points in terms of their orientation and execution, highlighting that although there were contact points, a common strategy was not articulated to improve the performance of both processes.
